If we’re allowed to speculate, possible case of bomb exploding early?

In the taxi?

 

[8ball]

No idea at this stage.
Bombing a hospital on Remembrance Sunday isn’t anything I can derive a message from.

 

[T & P]

In the taxi?

Yes according to the BBC story, dead person is the passenge.

Heard the taxi driver wouldn’t let them out of the cab because they realised what they were going to do. Driver is stable.

Absolute hero if true.

antivaxers?

"The male driver was injured and is in hospital in a stable condition."

And good luck if so

What as the time of this ? Not 11AM perhaps ? I dunno but saw something earlier in the day but didn’t make much of it

"Police were called to reports of a car explosion at 10.59am, shortly before the 11am silence that annually marks Remembrance Sunday in Britain."

Independent

 

[not-bono-ever]

deleted cos just speculation

Anti abortion nut jobs?

That did occur to me. Single nutter maybe (well “radicalised online by ropey groups” nutter…)?

 

[manji]

Strange, a Crowdfund is being run for the injured Taxi Driver already. Must admit my first though was anti-vaxxers. Shouldn’t jump to conclusions, maybe I am , but when I see morons online threatening Doctors etc......

 

[two sheds]

not sure it's worth speculating tbh

 

[8ball]

I kind of hope this is some random twat with his brain on the fritz and not some new current from the QAnon world.

If one is dead and three have been arrested, it doesn't sound like the cliched random lone wolf.

Good point. I don’t know what grounds they need for arrest once terrorism is in the frame, though.

 

[Raheem]

Hope it's not Loyalists.

 

[StoneRoad]

What would be the point of bombing a maternity hospital ?

That's just bizarre.

 

[Raheem]

Hope it's not Loyalists.

Not that there's anyone I hope it is, mind.

 

[Serene]

So far, they arent releasing enough information about this to be able to know.

 

[Sue]

Hope it's not Loyalists.

Why would it be Loyalists?

 

[Ax^]

the terrorism bit basically means that are not white

 

[Raheem]

the terrorism bit basically means that are not white

Reckon the cops do make rare exceptions in cases where taxis explode.

Possibly not white in the same way that the Guilford Four weren't white.

 

[Ax^]

of course the sun is leading with hero white cabbie stops rememberence day bombing

 

[manji]

Not much of a car bomb if the pictures are authentic.

The whole caving on the NI protocol thingy. And declaring war at one minute to 11 on Remembrance Sunday would make sense. Although attacking a maternity hospital less so.

Seems unlikely given they love Remembrance Sunday and all that.
